Storm Damage Roof Repair in The Colony, TX

If you need storm damage roof repair in The Colony, TX, the geometry of your roof and the geography of the city are working together against you. The Colony runs roughly 23 miles along the eastern shore of Lewisville Lake, and much of its original housing carries long, simple, uninterrupted eave runs.

Long Eaves Plus Open Fetch

Fox and Jacobs began building on the eastern shoreline in 1972 and much of the original stock went up through the late 1970s and 1980s as straightforward production homes with simple gable rooflines. Those roofs have very few flashing details, which is an advantage most of the time, and long uninterrupted eave and rake lines, which is a disadvantage in a wind event.

Wind uplift concentrates at the perimeter of a roof. On a complex roofline the geometry breaks that energy up. On a long simple gable facing open water across a lake, the wind hits an unbroken edge and works along it. The damage that results is frequently not missing shingles but a whole perimeter run where the sealant bond has let go across many courses. Those shingles are still nailed and look entirely normal from the street, and they will admit water in every wind-driven rain until somebody lifts and checks them. Assessing this kind of damage visually from the ground misses essentially all of it.

Emergency Response on the Shoreline Side

Homes on the western side of the city, closest to the water, take the worst of it and are the ones we are most often dispatched to overnight. North Texas storm complexes frequently track through in the late evening and small hours, which is precisely when every roofing office is closed.

Our line is answered by a person at any hour and we dispatch during active weather where it is safe to do so. Before we arrive, contain water inside rather than going up: kill power to any circuit near the wet area, move belongings, put buckets down, and relieve a bulging ceiling deliberately with a screwdriver at the low point over a bucket rather than letting the whole section fail. Photograph everything before you clean up, because you cannot recreate those images later and your adjuster will want them. Then stay off the roof and let us tarp it.
